Clean break

Where possible, however, the court prefers to order a 'clean break' rather than continuing payments for spousal maintenance. A Clean Break Order ends all claims the parties may have against each other on all financial matters except child maintenance and aims to make the parties financially independent.

As part of the clean break the court may order one party to pay a specified sum of money to the other as compensation for their ownership interest in an asset or assets. The court may also order an adjustment in the ownership of an asset, usually from joint ownership into one party's sole name; or that an asset be sold (and dictate how to share the proceeds).

Alternatively, the court could order a clean break after a specified period of spousal maintenance. The aim of such an order would be to give a party fair and reasonable time to adjust to separation and end their financial dependence.
